@ELS @davidho Public transit just doesn't work in cities like L.A. Time to stop even trying to push the envelope on that. Vast amounts of money wasted.

@lauren @davidho LA is a disaster for bicycles. That needs to be fixed, but it won’t work for folks who can’t bike.

@ELS @davidho This is a sore point with me, all the people who don't seem to realize that not everyone can bike, and that even for those who can, it's often totally impractical and too dangerous in the city.

@lauren @davidho @ELS biking is too dangerous bc so many of the places where it could be safe to bike are filled by parked cars.

@mattg @davidho @ELS Too dangerous even without parked cars. I'd never risk a bicycle in traffic in L.A., even if I was much younger.

@lauren @ELS @davidho public transit *does* work in la. Or it would if it got the same investment as private cars. LA used to have an extensive public transit system before it was ripped out. What doesn't work in LA is everyone driving their own car, which is why it's worked famous for its traffic.
